Seminars

Fiber Art

Sun., 4 Nov., 10 a.m., Penrose Guest Hospitality Suite
Each guest will select a variety of colors from a huge assortment of wool fibers. These colorful wool fibers are pulled, by the guest, into various shapes and dimensions, positioned on a backing and ironed to fuse them into place. This creates a one-of-a-kind piece of art that can be inserted into a cardboard frame to create a card to send to a loved one or friend or taken home and framed.

Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art

Mon., 5 Nov., 10 a.m.
Penrose Guest Hospitality Suite Guests will hear the history of how and why this fantastic museum is located in Indy as well as learn about its many collections, special exhibits, and heritage.

Smart Shopping and Nutrition

Tues., 6 Nov., 10 a.m., Penrose Guest Hospitality Suite
Grocery store and merchandise marketers use all kinds of psychological techniques to entice us to buy what they want us to buy. Learn ways to avoid some of these subtle traps, better understand product labels, and become more educated on overall nutrition.
